DLTK's Canadian Brownies SectionBrownie Interest Badges

The Brownie program in Canada changed this year (fall 2004) so I've updated
this section to reflect that change.

I find some girls are very motivated to do the badges but as a leader I used
to find that many moms would seek me out in desperation asking how they might
guide their children in completing some aspect of a badge.

I've put this section together in the hopes that it will help new leaders,
moms and Brownies with some of the tougher aspects of the Brownie Outlooks.

Special Interest Badge -- the special interest badges are "open"
-- the child can do anything related that they have a special interest in --
your troop could put together a website to share their ideas for badges or
other activities -- have each child draw a picture to add to the site or
write up an idea. Then have one of your more techy parents put the
site together for you. I would suggest avoiding any photographs or
full names of the children, just for safety's sake -- just include their
artwork or writing and perhaps a first name. I would also avoid saying
exactly where the troop is located ("a Brownie troop in Canada" is
plenty of information!)
